The challenges
OpenStack implementation
After the initial deployment of OpenStack, Fingent encountered several performance and stability issues that required immediate attention. The team embarked on a comprehensive and detailed analysis to identify the root causes of these issues. Realizing the need for specialized expertise, they decided to hire external consultants to assist them.
OpenStack questions
Fingent faced numerous technical questions and uncertainties during their initial OpenStack implementation and after conducting a detailed analysis on their OpenStack environment. Their OpenStack environment required thorough testing and validation to meet all project requirements and handle the necessary workloads for full-scale implementation.
OpenStack optimization
Fingent designed a new production deployment but needed Fairbanks’ support to develop a robust deployment strategy that seamlessly integrated with their existing systems. Additionally, establishing reliable backup and recovery processes was crucial for safeguarding against data loss, and Fairbanks assisted in setting up and validating these processes.
Deployment design
Fingent experienced performance issues with their Neutron application, which is critical for network management. Additionally, they required assistance to get their Canonical Ubuntu Autopilot running correctly and to improve administration projects in OpenStack Horizon, aiming for seamless integration, enhanced functionality, and optimized performance.
